Twenty five nominations have been received by the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce for the two Employee of the Year Awards that will be presented later this month.

Carol Yaholnitksy, Co-Chair of the Chamber’s Events committee is pleased with that number. “The number of nominations and the quality of the nominees equals those the last time the Awards were presented in 2013,” she said. “The community really made an effort to recognize the great employees we have in Yorkton.”

Stephanie Buckle, Co-Chair of the Events committee agrees. “The nominees all contribute to their places of employment,” she said. “We received seventeen nominations for the Front Line Employee of the Year Award and eight were received for the Support Employee of the Year Award.”

Each Award recognizes outstanding contributions by employees to their places of employment and to the community. The Front Line Employee of the Year Award, sponsored by CORE Real Estate, is for those employees who provide the customer service that ensures customers continue to walk through the doors of the business.

The Support Employee Award, sponsored by Parkland College, is for those hard working, knowledgeable employees who ensure the back end of the business runs smoothly.  

Photos and biographies of the nominees will be posted on the Chamber website March 16 - 19. Each Chamber member will then have the opportunity to cast one vote for the nominee considered most deserving for each of the Awards.

The Employee of the Year Awards will be presented at the 2015 Employee Recognition Event, Wednesday March 25 at St. Mary’s Ukrainian Cultural Centre.  Saskatoon musical duo, the Hot Tamales, will entertain the employees and their employers prior to the Award presentations. Tickets to the ERE are available at the Chamber office.
